Description
Jane Street’s Graduate Research Fellowship supports doctoral students pursuing research in electrical engineering and computer science, mathematics, physics, and statistics. Work with significant overlap with those disciplines is also welcome; research does not need to relate to trading or finance.
Jane Street is a quantitative trading firm whose work draws on machine learning, distributed systems, programmable hardware, statistics, and applied mathematics. Through the fellowship, it aims to support PhD students who share its values of technical excellence, intellectual curiosity, and humility. Fellows are invited, but not required, to visit Jane Street and give a talk on a topic of their choosing; the visit’s expenses are paid.
